Crawley take on the visitors Stockport County in the round 39 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, February 18th at The Broadfield Stadium (Crawley).
Crawley Town have noticeably improved this season. The Red Devils are approaching their 130th anniversary. However, there are more than enough such teams in British football. There is nothing to boast about; last season the team finished only 22nd - a borderline position, but still enough for another survival in League 2. However, there has been a noticeable improvement now. They have risen to the upper part of the table, and since mid-February, there has been a stretch with quite a few victories. At home against Notts County, they managed to win 2-1 - though the visitors finished with fewer players.

Stockport County are trying to improve even compared to the previous season. The Hatters are much like their upcoming opponents - they were founded in 1883 as well. And they don't have any significant achievements either. Last season, they narrowly missed out on promotion to League 1. They fell just short of third place, which would have been enough for direct promotion. In the playoffs, they suffered a penalty shootout defeat in the final. It seems they have improved now, but at the end of winter, they started a series of four winless matches. They only managed to secure a 1-0 win against Newport, and they ended with a 2-2 draw against Salford City at home.
Last season, the teams exchanged home victories. In September, they played to an entertaining 3-3 draw on the Hatters' field. Free match prediction for Crawley Town vs. Stockport County on March 18: The visitors are considered the clear favorites. However, the Red Devils have gained momentum and will manage not to lose to the Hatters at home on Monday.
Prediction for the match: Crawley not to lose (1X).
